He is reckless, takes risks, has no friends, is addicted to video games, drinks, smokes, and his room is a real "mess". She likes to provoke. He lacks motivation...

Boys and girls all struggle to control their emotional reactions during adolescence. And to be honest, we parents often lose control too! We would readily accuse them of doing it on purpose to get on our nerves. They have a talent for driving us crazy...

But adolescence is a period of significant processes happening in the brain. Thinking, memory skills, and artistic creativity are making leaps forward, while other areas like empathy, anticipation, organization, and risk assessment are still... a jumble.

The teenager is an engine running at dizzying speeds, a hypersensitive accelerant with nonexistent brakes!

With "We No Longer Understand Each Other!" we discover what is happening in the minds and bodies of our teenagers and explore our parental abilities to respond with sensitivity, love, and empathy.
